Marc Savard[1] redirected a Dennis Wideman[2] shot with less than a minute to go in the second period to give the Bruins a 1-0 lead. The goal was reviewed by the NHL[3] offices in Toronto to determine if Savard raised his stick too high on the tip, but it was ruled a goal after a brief review.

Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask[4] got the nod for the first time this season in net against the New York Rangers[5] at the TD Banknorth Garden[6]. Rask has made 20 saves while shutting down the Blueshirts thus far. The 21-year-old is 2-1-1 with a 3.25 GAA in four career NHL[7] appearances with the Black and Gold. The Bruins on the strength of Savard’s goal have a 1-0 lead after two periods of play.
